I Will Be
Brea Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What I didn't know was what I wanted so bad
And what I didn't want was all I had yeah- yeah
And I can't help but taste these tears that I have inside
And I know now that I have to fly

'Cause I will be across the ocean
And I will be on the desert sands
I will be anywhere I have to just to be who I am
I will be worth a thousand skies
I will be ready to fly
I will be on my every dream till the day I die
That's what I will be
That's what I will be

These days it seems oh that I don't belong
And what I've done it feels so wrong
And nobody knows me no one hears me crying deep inside
And at times I feel all I can do is hide

'Cause I will be across the ocean
And I will be on the desert sands
I will be anywhere I have to just to be who I am
I will be worth a thousand skies
I will be ready to fly
I will be on my every dream till the day I die
That's what I will be
That's what I will be

Some days my dreams are so far
Some days I can't see past the clouds
Some days I gotta get back on my feet somehow
Some days oh I am so scared
Some days I just wanna leave
Some days it's burning a hole inside of me

'Cause I will be across the ocean
And I will be on the desert sands
I will be anywhere I have to just to be who I am
I will be worth a thousand skies
I will be ready to fly
I will be on my every dream till the day I die




That's what I will be
That's what I will be
